What a lovely morning at our last Revolve in the Park gathering of the season. Thank you to those that facilitated the Pizza oven and thank you to everyone in community for coming together. With a local election on the horizon it is more important than ever to build sustainability within our communities. It was great to see folks from different walks of life, organizations, councils and candidacies show up to engage in relevant, meaningful and critical conversations.

All Candidate Meetings are a great way to inform yourself on community issues and candidate values!
